I-40/Horizon Blvd Interchange Modification The New Mexico Department of Transportation proposes to improve transportation infrastructure in the area surrounding the intersection of I-40 and Horizon Boulevard. This project is critical to addressing these safety concerns by upgrading the intersection design, improving traffic flow, enhancing visibility, and implementing better signage and traffic control systems. These improvements are aimed at reducing accidents, minimizing congestion-related risks, and providing safer conditions for all road users, ultimately enhancing the overall safety of the Horizon Boulevard interchange for motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists alike.

Valencia 2 Solar Project The proposed project is the installation of a solar electric generating facility located on an approximately 25-acre parcel of undeveloped land in Valencia County, New Mexico. The proposed project will include arrays of single-axis tracker photovoltaic (PV) modules which will track the sun throughout the day. A racking system will affix solar panels to the ground using piles driven to various depths below ground at a minimum depth of 5 feet. Total height of the tracker panels will be approximately 7 feet above ground and the typical row length will be 320 feet, though row lengths will vary based on available land constraints. The proposed project will also include security fencing, a 12- to 20-foot-wide maintenance road, and electrical conduit line. The proposed project site will include a temporary staging area during construction to accommodate construction trailers, vehicles and equipment. The site will include active dust suppression via the use of water trucks and soil compaction during construction, and disturbed areas will be re-seeded with native grasses, as necessary. 2026-01-15 public_comment_letter_NMERT-5487.pdf
